Faye Cyzmoure t$ 4 For a little over a year Faye has been Our Girl Friday to the staff of THE MODEL RAILROADER. Norwegian, 28 years old, and happily married (sorry, fellows), she and her husband Joe live in an apartment on Milwaukee's west side. They have no children. Joe, fresh out of the army, is back at his old job as draftsman for Allis-Chalmers. Faye worked 'there, too, before joining us so she's used to writing letters about heavy machinery such as locomotives. We don't mean to imply that she knows, offhand, what a reverse lever pilot valve is, or a volute spring, but drivers, boilers, pilots, and main frames are duck soup to her for she must refer to them when ordering photostats. Her other tasks include turning garbled information obtained from Dictaphone cylinders into neat, literate letters, answering routine correspondence, ordering all THE MODEL RAILROADER'S photoengravings, recording Ten Year Club members, and serving yearly as editor of the Club Directory. The only girl in THE MODEL RAILROADER'S sixth floor oflces, Faye periodically and good naturedly drops her regular work to restore feminine order to the accumulated chaos of clippings, file correspondence, and open reference books that would torture an orderly person. When the day's work is done, Faye dons one of her postage stamp hats, hangs her purse over her arm, and takes trolley No. 12 home to get dinner for Joe. She likes to try new dishes, and enjoys baking Toll House cookies most of all. When we asked her to tell us her ambition she said, "To be a good wife and a good secretary." We say she's one of the world's best secretaries, and we're sure Joe would say something swell about Faye's wifely attributes. He frequently does, particularly when eating Faye's Toll House cookies.

Dick Bozenbury, who runs a dental laboratory, is making a side line of fashioning genuine gold spikes for use at completion ceremonies on model pikes. Incidentally, the club's new address is 715 Sheridan Ave.. Plainfield. which means no more frosty operating sessions in the unheated barn loft that it occupied during the war, Visitors and new members are weIcome and should drop around any Tuesday at 8 p. m. THE DARKEST HOUR-The old saying that the darkest hour is just before dawn was borne out by the experience of the West Essex Model Railroad Club, now at 347 Bloomfield Ave., Montclair, N. J. One recent operating night things were going swell. A record crowd of visitors was present and the Essex Connecting RR. was performing in fine fashion. Then Fred Noesner, the club president, arrived with a long face and a short piece of bad news-the club premises had been sold and a vacate notice had been handed to him. Plans were made-to tear up the Essex Connecting RR. and then to meet in one another's homes until new quarters could be found. a none too promising prospect. Then came the dawn. Two weeks later Burton Everett located new and better club quarters in Montclair, N. J., near the Lackawanna station.
